“Ugly car, cynical stunt”

“This is Greenwash to the extreme… Despite its cars doing little more than four miles to the gallon, the Honda Formula One team tried to trump their green credentials yesterday when they announced that their new cars will feature a huge image of the Earth” – Andy Rowell

“Good for them right? Sure, if you think that a fuel guzzling 3.1 mile per gallon racing car is a great way to promote enviornmental awareness.” – Logan

“A 2.4L V8 700+hp engine that consumes close to 75 liters of High Octane Fuel per 100Km, which is a grand fuel economy rate of 1.333KM/L, being used to tell people, ?â?ó?óÔÇÜ?¼?àÔÇ£Hey! Take care of the planet! Don’t pollute! Use energy wisely! Don’t these people even think about what they’re trying to say?” – Ashwin

“A team member said: ‘I think this signals a recognition that formula one has to change or it will wither on the vine and become extinct.’ Yes, but what about the inside of the car? Business as usual.” – Treehugger

This “publicity stunt” shows how blinkered the majority of F1 fans are. It is to raise awareness of future technology powering us to work and back in the coming years.
F1 has a global audience of hundreds of millions.
The car makers are in F1 to sell cars. Fact.
Honda are renowned for being great engine builders.
Honda have developed the FCX. This is a fuel cell car. They have a global advertisement to promote this. So why not advertise the fact they are green?

Ironic that the average F1 fan who supports a sport featuring the latest technologies isn’t aware of the fuel cell car. It may never catch on but at least there is a company pushing the boundaries to do the right thing.

Honda is great! One of the leading car manufacturers in the manufacturing of green cars is the Japanese brand Honda. Honda is the greenest car manufacturer. So in order for the world to reduce dependency on that non-renewable source of energy, Honda is aiming to develop alternative fuels for their vehicles. Always producing eco-friendly vehicles which is also known for the reliability of their Honda Cold Air Intake parts .
